It turns out this is a fellow with an Indian accent trying to get me to speak with an agent about buying insurance for my funeral expenses. He didn't ask for anyone by name or give any information, and he didn't get a chance to ask me for any information. I asked them to send the info in the mail, and I declined to speak any further about it.
This caller might be operating several different kinds of scams from this number - like magazines, sweepstakes, computer hacks - but they might have targeted me because I return-mailed a postcard asking for more information about the bogus insurance (I didn't give them my phone on that, though - only the info that was already on the card, address).
My caller was nice enough, as was I. He politely apologized for the bother, although it really was no problem to me. They seem to be up to no good, though, for sure. Don't talk with them.
The guy who called me said I am a slave and abusive words and is asking me to go back to my own country. These guys are abusive and seems to be not genuine.
I don't know how these numbers are and the people behind it just get away with this isn't that called phone harassment? I don't know for sure but it's really annoying when these kind of calls come in and you're doing something and it interrupts you for nothing absolutely nothing! Oh credit cards sometimes the mortgage on the house I don't even own, I don't have a credit card and I didn't ask for anyone to call me about any of it anyway... grrrr!!
This should be #illegal!!

Talked to my 75 year old mother and wanted to lower her interest rate on her card and when she asked them to remove her from their list, said they would be happy to as long as she did something for them. She asked what, and they told her to go f-ck herself. Now my mother has a good sense of humor and thought it was quite funny that she irritated them but still it bothered her and of course is harassment.
